She presents her power point,
Types her reports,
Prepares her proposals
All to perfection.
Nobody knows she borders
Perforation.
She slips away silently,
Small sips steady her constant
Shaking.
Someday she’ll heal
Someday she’ll deal
Someday a bottle won’t be a meal.
Today she’s okay
That’s what she’ll say
When the looking glass
Won’t give her a pass.

It sounds like a very strong woman who cannot see her own strength.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my work. I think she tries so hard to be perfect that, inevitably, fault finds her.

I know what you mean! I am fairly new and bursting the seams of my straitjacket already! As in, too much to share but do I dare?

Do it! Our wonderful community is filled with novice writers and professionals who’ve been published time and time again. Community support and feedback has been so helpful to me. I’d suggest getting acquainted with the site. I like the daily prompts, though it’s one word, you’re free to utilize it in any way you’d like. This truly is a wonderfully support outlet for creative types such as ourselves! I’m always around, too. Right now I’m in the middle of a move and have some things going on, but don’t be shy if you have questions, comments, or concerns. I’m happy to help!

Aww that’s so sweet. I have met a few amazing writers here who have inspired some really good stuff (if I may say so myself). I liked the photo prompts more than the word one though I have found only one till now!
